- 1st may 2007 - Elephants at play



Popped into the zoo (Chester Zoo) to get some camera handling practice... The elephants had just been let out so were having fun... the flowers as superb as ever. I know the arguments for and against zoos, but have to say with their new larger enclosure the elephants seem to be kept busy and well - unlike many zoos still today! They were certainly enjoying this...

Amazing action shot. They look like they are having fun!! Their wet skin almost looks like bronze! Voted.

What a lovely shot, they look as if they are all having a great time, they seem to be smiling, with their eyes at least. Great capture of the water drops.
